I am immortal.
I am deathless, an angel, a creature of light,
A glorious heavenly being;
So bow at my feet,
Admit your defeat,
And humbly give up the fight.
You cannot slay an immortal.

Greetings. I am Captain Ishmael, and I will be your commanding officer. As you all know, Captain Ozlo was found dead in his bunk at 0830 this morning. Shortly after the funeral, our counter-intelligence agents caught the spy responsible for the act, and after an hour of interrogations, we learned that she was an agent of an organization that calls itself the Spiral Council, and that she is one of many. You have been called by the Spiral Order to put a stop to this organization and its nefarious plans. Their MO is best summed up as ninja terrorism; they slit throats, plant bombs and traps, and shut down vital services. They have a penchant for recruiting new members in the most inconvenient of places, so watch your back, even around people you think you can trust.
We are counting on you to succeed. Failure is not an option. Good luck, soldier.

Welcome to the forum roleplaying game Immortal. Designed to fulfill your requests, I sincerely hope it will be to your liking. The plot will seem deceptively simple at first, so if you came here wanting to play a deep, thoughtful game, be patient, because that's precisely what this is. Details & inconsistencies will be placed intentionally, so if during the course of the game you spot something that looks off, chances are you're probably onto something. Lies, improbabilities, inconsistencies, and the like are the bread & butter plot drivers of the story; keep your eyes peeled for them. Bad things happen to those who don't notice these things, and you'll reap cool rewards if you do!
The threshold for player death is also lower here, so if you're counting on being able to survive any accident that befalls you, don't. Use your wits to stay alive. You can't count on your mad battle skillz and super epic awesome gear to get you through the game, because at the end of the day, the other characters can and will out-fox you. Consider yourself warned.
Player characters do not have access to magic powers. That means no telepathy, no telekinesis, no super-stealth, no super-durability, none of that stuff (unless you have the corresponding accessory or Battle Sprite). Some NPCs will have such powers, but you will not, as it unbalances several important aspects of the story. Being special agents of the Spiral Order, if you want a new power, you'll have to ask Spiral HQ for the relevant piece of equipment and return for it.
All players begin as human Knights with sworn allegiance to the Spiral Order. Loyalty to the Spiral Order is mandatory; you are not allowed to be allied to any other faction or be any race other than human Knight. I've noticed over the years that some people like to play as mercenaries or unaffiliated rogues; those kinds of characters are strictly prohibited here.

I'll be co-GMing with Thinslayer, though we're both busy on our own schedules. So don't be surprised if entire days go by without activity as we head towards the autumn.
I'll control a few NPCs, though my style and direction is a lot different from Thin's so I won't substitute for him either. Feel free to explore the characters I've made for you guys. Well, that is, if you can survive what Thin and I will hurl at your face...so...yeah.
